Ogemaw County approves school‑resource deputy agreements with Woodmore/Prescott schools

The Ogemaw County Board of Commissioners voted to approve school resource deputy agreements between the Ogemaw County Sheriff’s Office and Woodmore‑Prescott area schools as presented.

County legal staff confirmed the contracts had been reviewed; the sheriff’s office said the updated agreements include modest changes to overtime allowances and vehicle coverage. A sheriff‑office representative told the board the schools reimburse the county monthly for the deputies’ costs. Commissioner (motion maker) asked whether last‑year’s agreement differed; the sheriff said overtime language and vehicle allowances were the main changes. "Their overtime was a little bit different for us," the undersheriff said.

Commissioner Wiltshire moved to approve the agreement and Commissioner Surbrook seconded. The chair conducted a roll‑call vote that recorded unanimous support from commissioners present and the motion passed. A commissioner asked staff to ensure next year’s agreements are in place before the school year begins.
